Niemann, could Rice even compete in the SEC?

LSU polished off Rice today in an NCAA super regional series, once again showing the Southeastern Conference dominance that former Biscuits pitcher Jeff Niemann, a former Rice star, refuses to acknowledge.

It's the second year in a row that LSU, beloved team of former Biscuit Reid Brignac, has shown Rice the NCAA door ... and shoved the Owls under it. The Tigers beat Rice 5-3 today and will go to the College World Series for the 15th time.

(Of course, I ask Niemann about his love for the SEC every year. There are certain places I don't go, however.)
